The two-door cupboard with an open shelf portion at the top stands on a high plinth that is cut in a curve. The division lath is carved with a stylized tree of life, with k snake at the root. The doors have a stressed mounting of lily shapes and a butterfly keyhole shield in the middle. The open shelf is supported by two columns at the top. This cupboard was exhibited at the 1898 Applied Arts Exhibition in Munich.
